The Independent Order Book/Film/TV Club
I think it's safe to say that I'm not used to having a ton of free time, despite being unemployed I have spent years doing various volunteering jobs. However now due to RL circumstances (Covid-19) the country is in lockdown and joins a list of other countries who've already adopted similar measures. So as I've now got a lot of free time I thought I'd try to revive something I believe we tried here a few years ago, this may go down in flames but thought I'd try.
In very simple terms we pick (either by one person choosing or by vote depending on numbers) a book, film or television series - watch or read it and then spend a few days talking about it. Following the end of that discussion we then pick the next thing to be read or watched and off we go again.
I suggest the following as guidance:
1) All discussion to be respectful and constructive
2) Consideration of material - Think about how easy it is for others to access the material, also don't suggest something that is seven series long would be my suggestion here, the only way this works is if everyone can get at what people want to use as the subject matter. Also if TV/film be mindful of the film ratings and content.
Other suggestions welcomed, anyone interested in giving this a whirl indicate below and feel free to suggest something (if you can provide a link to the content or can show where it is please do)
